This is the one I bought:

I bought the same ones. Just sent then back for a refund.
The slightest bump or even wind would cause them to loose the setting requiring readjustment.
Also made it a little more difficult to apply brakes having the mirror in the same place as your picture.
I also found that they had too much convex and distorted distances so you could not detect vehicles until it was too close.
I went back to my flat mirror mounted on my glasses. Still a problem when down on the bars of my road bike.
I am forced to lift my head high to get the mirror past the shoulders. Not a problem on the hybrid with a more upright position.
